Synthesis and characterization of 1,3-bis(2-hydroxyethoxy) benzene based saturated and unsaturated polyesters

Polyesterification of adipic acid and maleic anhydride with 1,3-bis(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzene (HER) in the presence of toluene-4-sulphonic acid was carried out using melt condensation technique. The structural characterization of the synthesized polyesters had been carried out using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) spectroscopic methods. The thermal properties of the polyesters were studied using differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The activation energies for the thermal degradation of the polyesters were calculated by the method of Dharwadkar and Kharkhanavala and discussed. The char residue value at 600 °C indicated maleic anhydride based polyester is thermally more stable compared to the adipic acid based polyester. The mechanism of degradation of these polyesters is discussed.

Synthesis and Stereoisomerization of 2-(1-Alkoxyimino-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-5-trimethylsilylfurans

2-(1-Alkoxyimino-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-5-trimethylsilylfurans were synthesized by the condensation of 2-(trifluoroacetyl)-5-trimethylsilylfuran with alkoxyamines. According to ¹H and ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopic data, the alkoxyimino group in the E-isomers descreens the H-3 and H-4 protons of the furan ring more strongly than in the Z-isomers, shifting their signals downfield. The fluorine atoms of the α-trifluoromethyl group in the Z-isomer are characterized by a downfield shift in relation to the E-isomer. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 834–838, June, 2005.

Heterocyclic Ions From N-Oxides of N-(4-Nitrobenzylidene)-2-cyclopropylaniline and N-(4-Nitrobenzylidene)-2-cyclopropylmethylniline: Formation, Isomerization, and Conversions

The N-oxide of N-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-2-cyclopropylaniline is converted by the action of strong acids into the corresponding 2,1-benzoxazinium derivative. Under identical conditions the N-oxide of N-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-2-cyclopropylmethylaniline forms the corresponding 2,1-benzoxazinium and 2,1-benzoxazepinium salts in a ratio of 1 : 2. The 2,1-benzoxazepinium ions are thermodynamically less stable and are isomerized with time into 2,1-benzoxazinium ions. Treatment of 2,1-benzoxazinium salts with hydrobromic acid solution and subsequent neutralization leads to o-(2-hydroxyalkyl)anilines and p-nitrobenzaldehyde. The effect of the nature of the ortho substituent on the direction of the conversions of the corresponding arylcyclopropanes is discussed.     

Polymerization Reactions in an Al(OBus)3-(COOH)2 System

Reactions in an Al(OBu^s)₃-(COOH)₂ (OA)-tetrahydrofuran (THF)/(CD₃)₂SO (DMSO-d₆) system (Al(OBu^s)₃: THF : DMSO-d₆: OA = 1 : 5 : 5 : x, x = 0.01 –3) were studied, without the addition of water and the process was monitored by NMR. When x 0.3, homogeneous solutions were obtained, whereas white precipitates formed with x 0.7. The formation of sec-butyl alcohol was evident with x 0.6, indicating that oxalate groups coordinate to aluminum to release sec-butyl alcohol. ¹³C NMR spectra of the solutions after 1 day suggest the presence of polymeric species if 0.03 x 0.6. The addition of a small amount of water resulted in the formation of a white precipitate (Al(OBu^s)₃: THF : DMSO-d₆ : OA : H₂O = 1 : 5 : 5 : 0.3 : y,y = 0.03–0.3), indicating that water, possibly formed by esterification in the Al(OBu^s)₃-OA-THF/DMSO-d₆ system, does not take a major role in the present system.     

Determination of the structure of 7-diethylamino-4-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one derivatives using two-dimensional heteronuclear chemical-shift correlated NMR techniques

¹H and¹³C NMR spectra of 7-diethylamino-4-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one derivatives have been studied.
